Crochet and Knitting Pattern By Svetlana Pertseva Skill level: Experienced

About this pattern The toy is crocheted in continuous spirals without joining the rounds. You will need a stitch marker to keep track of where the beginning of each round starts. Move the marker up to the first stitch of the next round after finishing the previous one. If you don't have a stitch marker you can always use a scrap of contrasting yarn instead. You can see it in my photos. I use USA terminology for my pattern (don’t worry if you use UK terms, all the differences are explained in the pattern).

Angel Zu Materials and tools ✓ Main yarn – I used 50 g of skin “Baby” by Vita (Fingering, 100% acrylic) that has 400 m in a 100 g skein. Tip: You can use any yarn (wool, acrylic, etc). The thicker the yarn, the bigger your toy will be. See the gauge section. ✓ Yarn for the wings – it should be slightly thinner than your main yarn. I used 15 g of white “Angora Fine” by Seam (50% mohair, 50% nylon) that has 300m in a 50 g skein. ✓ Very fine yarn for the dress – I used 15 g of white “Kid Royal” by Alize (Lace, 62% mohair, 32% polyamid) that has 250m in a 25 g skein. ✓ Any yarn for the hair – I used 50 g of “Karakul Stretch” by Kamteks (44% wool, 44% acrylic, 10% cotton, 2% lycra) that has 145 m in a 100 g skein. TIP: You can find yarn in this shop https://www.etsy.com/shop/LittleOwlsHutRUSSIAN ✓ Matching crochet hook. I used 2 mm steel crochet hook (US 1, UK 1). ✓ Thick knitting needles to knit the dress – I used 5-6 mm. ✓ A pair of ready-made eyes – I used 15 mm in diameter.

Finished size Approx. 30 cm (11.8 inches) tall using the materials stated in the pattern.

Happy crocheting!


✓ False eyelashes. ✓ Single core copper PVC electrical wire (optional) – I used wire approximately 150 cm / 59 inches long 1.0 mm in diameter. ✓ Tapestry needle, transparent glue ✓ Stuffing ✓ Adhesive fabric tape approximately 1 cm wide to work up the wire ends (optional) ✓ Any material to tint the toy (optional) – I used oil pastels.

Tip (make it right) If there are no special notes, the toy is crocheted under both parts of the loop. In some rows, there are special notes: ‘into the front loop only’ or ‘into the back loop only’. In that case, you need to follow these instructions.

Tip (make it right) When making toys the right side looks like this:

And the backside looks like this:

Abbreviations ch(s) = chain(s) st(s) = stitch(es) sl st = slip stitch sc(s) = single crochet(s) inc(s) = increasing(s) (2 sc in 1 st) dec(s) = decreasing(s) (sc2tog) Rnd = round together dc = double crochet If there is a record in the brackets in the pattern, multiplied by some number, for example (3 sc, 1 inc) x 3, it means you need to repeat this action 3 times, that is 3 sc, 1 inc, 3 sc, 1 inc, 3 sc, 1 inc.

TIP (yarn) If you use different yarn, the toy will be bigger or smaller and you will need more or less yarn and wire than stated in the pattern (i.e. thicker yarn will produce a larger toy and you may require more yarn).

Tip (gauge) When making toys, you should use a much smaller hook than recommended for the yarn you choose. Make sure you crochet tight enough; otherwise, the stuffing will show through the holes.

Before you start All parts of the doll are worked with main yarn. If you decide to use safety eyes, we recommend that you read the pattern through first and then decide when it is more convenient for you to attach them.
